I thought it would be cool to add “Scoped AT rifles” or “Anti Material Rifles” starting at perhaps BR 3.

A bit of extra flavour for the Sniper Class. who doesnt Fantasize about the Barrett 50 cal when playing sniper :stuck_out_tongue:

AT rifles get dropped by AT Soliders the moment they get launchers, and rightly so (because they need the best they can to do their job).

But they could still be very useful in the hands of a sniper!

  • Destroying Engineer emplacements
  • Picking away at APCS
  • Juicy Collateral shots
  • Some surface penetration
  • the odd plane kill :slight_smile:
  • Trolling enemy tanks

Unscoped” variants should also be available to the AT class, but at BR 1/2.

Sniper Versions all Start at Mid BRish , Sprint Disabled

the trouble is then people would want the ability to shoot through indestructible walls and trees
yes a lot of things like non-building walls can be blown up run over, but house walls need to stay up on defense points for balance
windows and doors, sandbags are fine but not anti-tank barriers.

the idea simply adding a scoped at-rifles are fine so long as they don’t do anything normal at rifles can and go up at least one BR to the counterparts

no…then only thing different about them is they have scopes and are on snipers

just checking, so do at Troopers get them or snipers or both

I suppose it wouldnt hurt both…BUT AT trooper has a job to do, and he isnt going to pick AT rifle over a faust or bazooka.

I already know what will be sold in the next patch.
It’s a pity, but in reality the optical sight quickly broke down. just 1-2 shots and that’s all.
New content is only for money now. Or for a marathon.

Oh for sure. Plenty of stuff already in game broke when used.

In this period AFAIK they were still AT weapons, not sniper weapons, and so should be for AT troopers, so no thanks.

The scope on the Solothurn is its standard sight.

Also AT rifles were not made to be particularly accurate, whereas sniper rifles and ammo were specifically made, or selected from manufactured batches, for accuracy.

Sure., like I said…spirit of fun…not historic or anything. I knew you wouldnt like it :slight_smile:

The ingame AT rifles tend to be very accurate and pretty much already fun Anti infantry weapons.

On a similar note wouldn’t it be cool if this game had total destruction where we can destroy walls, buildings, blow holes. Sigh what a dream…maybe one day

:grin:

what a nightmare

Also, sure. Make it just for AT then. Would basically be the same as if it were a sniper squad anyway (and no doubt used as one)

3 AT troopers in AT squad
3 snipers in sniper squad

Either way I think these AT rifles should be ingame

popular to me. but considering that the devs need 6-12 months to fix a tiny bug, this doesn’t seem to become true for them to put in a new stuff/mechanic.

Lol, have you not seen what germany and russia get as “sniper rifles” for sniper class soldiers?

In this game, you hardly need to worry about the enemy’s transport truck set up 300 meters away.
You can use sniper rifles to take out fortifications other than anti-tank guns
Even if you use an anti-tank rifle without a sniper scope, you can snipe the tank guns on the mountain.
To sum up the above
There is no need for anti-tank rifles with optical sights

who said anything about need. Funsies! :slight_smile:

What do you want to shoot with an anti-tank rifle that can snipe enemies 300 meters away?

People are already running around with prototype weapons or WW1 guns pretending to be ARs while ironically the only actual AR family is weaker than the imposters.
Adding AT rifles that pretend to be anti-material rifles is just a cherry on top.
